If you've been around baseball for any length of time you surely

have noticed that the big hitters always have the biggest forearms.

You can rest assured that that is no mistake!

Your forearm training will most likely be a completely new style of

training for you. You will be performing exercises with a bucket

full of rice, a sledgehammer, and rubber bands.

The bucket of rice will allow you to train your hands gripping,

pinching, and crushing strength by grabbing big handfuls of rice or

squeezing the white off of the rice.

The sledge hammer is used for slow and controlled rotations

strengthening your wrists ability to control bat as you drive it

through the hitting zone.

The rubber bands are used around your fingers to train your ability

to extend your fingers and hands. Remember, you need to train both

your ability to create a fist as well as you ability to extend your

hand out straight.
